At the risk of resembling a hokey motivational poster, today’s D.A.D. is about how much people can affect their own circumstances — it’s called You hold the key:

I’ve found that even in not-so-great situations, I can always control certain things that at least get me to a better case scenario. I believe strongly not only in taking opportunities, but in making them too… and that people often underestimate how much control they can exert on their own outcomes and getting themselves going in the directions they want.

So with that, get yourself pointed in your own personal cardinal north. Spiel over :)
